I have airtel prepaid no, lot of time I observe airtel deducte 1.09 Pisa per minute, today after 1 hours trying to customer care after I have talk to airtel customer care executive ms Smitha, mainly they don't have a proper answers for customer, today I have call Vasai road (Thane dist) to Thane means local call but airtel deducte 1.09 pise per minute from my account, and I told executive but she's not given proper answer

I did port 2 nos from Idea to airtel on 14/10/2016. The Plan I have offer Rs.199 with Local+std 600 min, but after getting port when I called customer care they said its 500 min not 600min. Regarding port I got a call from [protected] this no. to port into airtel and he offered me 600 min in 199 plan.

Same thing had happened with me from idea previously, tele callers are making false commitments just to sale product and after porting air tel customer care said they cant do anything now.

I have wrongly recharged for Rs.248 which is A2A 15p/min instead of Local Mobiles.I called the customer care and they said there is no option of reversal for that tariff and how come this simple reversal process is not available if it is done by mistake.I wanted the amount to be reversed or it should be exchanged with Rs.215 LocalMobiles at 30p/min.
Mobile num:[protected]
Transaction Id:[protected].

I have a prepaid number [protected] and had Internet pack with autorenewal for which I got a message on 11th that it would be done in 3 days.I stopped the autorenewal on 13th by sending a mail and making a call as per the requirement and I got a recorded message that it has been processed and done. On 14th I got a message that the money has been deducted and recharge has been done. Sad to see the way airtel treats its old customers who still have stayed loyal till now.

My name is Ashish Chaturvedi and I have airtel postpaid mobile number is [protected]. Last month I was travelling through countries such as UAE, Germany, and Sweden. In this month billing cycle I see a Rs.3, 999 pack applied to my bill amount but I never raised any request for any international roaming pack.

I am informed by the call center executive that there record shows that I requested to activate a international roaming pack around 5 months back. However, I did not raise any such request. Although, I've been repeatedly getting calls to activate such packs but I have always refused. As a note of caution, before going on this trip I had called the call center to enquire about the roaming pack options available and clearly notified them that I don't want to go for any pack as I find these very expensive and instead would prefer to use a local sim of the country I am travelling to. I also validated from the call center that no such pack is currently activated on my number as I have heard many horror customer stories where unnecessary charges were levied on them without their knowledge. Please make sure I don't run into such issues in the future.

Kindly rectify your mistake at the earliest and eliminate all the pack charges applied on my number. Also, tell me the revised amount that needs to be paid.

Hi, I want to complain against the executive sitting in Airtel store, Paschim Vihar branch. Her name is Ankita. She was supposed to change the ownership of my and my husband number.
First of all, she made us visit twice as she forgot to give the new Sim. Inspite of being customer friendly and getting it delivered, she called me up in the evening and asked us to collect it.
After that my Sim was de-activated the very same day and I missed on my important calls until I got the new Sim.
Now my husband is struggling to change the ownership of Sim, even after sending ' Y' confirmation on SMS. His current Sim card has yet not got deactivated. And when I called her to send SMS again n resolve this. Ankita said I forgot to message you as I was busy with customer. Can anyone tell then who are we??
Are we not customer and supposed to get good services being associated with airtel from quite long time.
I again called her now in evening but still no SMS received. When I am calling Ankita back she is not picking call and after three calls, she left my phone on hold.
Is this we should be getting as a service, I need someone to look into it immediately and strict action please!!!

Hi

My airtel broadband connection has witnessed discriminatory usage since August'16 till date. I've repeatedly informed, requested & complained to Airtel Call Center, Nodal, Network & Appelate teams for this discriminatory internet usage issue.

All Airtel teams have failed to provide me a resolution and are charging me basis my internet plan without giving any resolution to my issue since the last 3 months.

I've copied all the emails below for reference of this complaint wherein I've requested for my broadbands' internet hacking issue with a complete reversal of Aug-Oct billing, as Airtel failed to investigate and arrive at a solution.

Thanks

Service Request 74014748: RE: [|BAL|Ref36438514|] IP DETAILS AND USAGE PATTERNS: BROADBAND A/C #: 13839374

Hi

This is horrific! My Airtel broadband is hacked more than once, password I've changed more than once, your engineers have visited me (Prashant Bhardwaj & Ram Bodh - service engineers of Airtel) more than once... and still my airtel broadband continues to be hacked. I've been charged a (approx. 2000/-) monthly rental for the last 2 months that I've regularly paid... so why this deficiency in service?

Adding insult to injury, your email team refuses to share the list and details of which IPs are being connected to my broadband connection alongwith their individual usage patterns... this clearly leads to your inability to control this situation. Emails are forwarded below for your direct reference.

Why is my airtel broadband being targetted? I question the integrity of the broadband service and have now made repeated requests for cancelling this connection today. Your call center staff has tried atleast 4 times to connect me to your retention team... and in all the 4 times, with a minimum waiting of 10 mins. per call (=40 mins call on waiting), I've still not been able to speak with retention team.

When I call to customer care They always tell for more time like that 30 min, 2hr, 24h, 72h. I will give him lot of Time 7 Oct to 14oct but they didn't active my Caller tune and not talk properly and disconnected my call. I registered my complaint for the last 7 days and waste so much time
So, sir please resolve my problem and take action against Airtel company

Hi. I just wanted to tell airtel and other network providers should aware people about the fake callers. Last week i got a call from a lady[protected] saying she is calling from airtel and told that some special offers are going on postpaid plans on converting from prepaid. I believed it was true and ask them how should i get that. She asked me to send my driving license and office id to start the process. I asked them to send the person to collect it. But she said being my place is so far she asked to send the documents through whatsapp and i did. They came to my home for address verification at the time i was not there. Until then i thought it is going good but the other day she called me and asked my photograph through whatsapp. I had doubt on her and asked her i won't do that since we didn't met any person from your side so told her to send a person to collect the photos in personal. But she again said my place is too far. I already knew that we need a new postpaid sim to activate and asked her anyhow you are going to send a person to deliver the new sim card so by that time i will give the photos to him. My doubt got increased when she said we don't need to change the prepaid sim card as it will work with the older sim itself. I hang up and called the customercare and told the story. They replied don't believe such calls they are fake. So please create awareness about this ask them to come in person to collect the documents or go to any airtel showroom do get that done. Lots of fakers are living around. Now my worry is what they will do with my documents.

Hi,

But till now I am facing same problem. My internet service has not been started till now.its already completed 1 month and I got 1st month bill. Now they have sent me monthly bill but till now I didn't got internet pack as they have committed. Please help me. What I have to do?

Sir my landline number is [protected], name: rakshan raaj, registered number [protected]. Sir i have given request to change my plan speed to 40mbps speed on 28th sept 2016 but till today they have to installed and everyday they ask time for 48 hours. Airtel is worst service provider now. They say me that they will provide in 48hours but my order is still pending and dint get any response from airtel. I have given complaint on your site and i got call from airtel and they are like they wil resolve but till now they dint resolve nor called back. No satisfaction and no response to customer service. Please take action over it. Contact me on [protected]

Requested an airtel broadband connection on 4th october 2016 and a person came home and collected activation fees of 1000rs. 7 days on, no technician came to install the connection and every time i call the customer care number they say u have qualified ur status is working technician will call u in 24 hours.. So far nobody has called me and now i called airtel broadband and they said they'll send technician within 24 hours. Now i recieved call saying your area is not qualified for broadband. Initially they said everything has been checked only the installation has to be made. Why are they lying to the customer? And the customer care executives are not responding properly. I wanted a refund and they said it will take 15 days. Waste of money and time. If a connection was not possible why did they collect activation fees and lie to me? Please take action against such fraudsters.

Sir, I have given correct and official all documents but your local persons has input wrong data of name in my mobile number so I faced problem for activate my number. For tele verification of my name i have say wrong name instead of correct name due to wrong data input by your associates person.

Kindly see the import of the KYC, your associates person and your company is not verify KYC properly, this is happen in second time in your company

I recharged my airtel no [protected] today though airtel.in. There was offer in data plan 3gb + 3gb in recharge of rs. 455. I recharged successfully but i got only 2gb data. Where is the rest data? When i will get? Its totally different from your plan updated in ur website. I am attaching screenshot for my recharge with data plan.

Pls look into the matter and resolved urgently.

I have recently switch from idea to airtel. I was informed by the airtel customer sales person about the plan and now when the service is activated there is nothing about that.

They have cheated to bring the customer from other operator.

I have the call records of the airtel guy. He is clearing mentioning that and now when i am calling him he is not replying to my question.

I downloaded an app from playstore and and opened it . before it opened I received a massage stating the activation of Airtel superstore and rs 99 was deducted from my account . I had no idea what happened . There was no any dialog box asking for activation and the service got activated without my consent. I reopened the app again and kiddie club service got activated with deduction of rs 35 from my main balance. how can Airtel activate service without consent of its customers
